The following PR release was issued by the US EPA today, and concerns Morris, Essex and Sussex county superfund sites.

Contact: Elias Rodriguez, (212) 637-3664, [email protected] or John Martin, (212) 637-3662, [email protected]

(New York, N.Y. – Sept. 13, 2013) On Monday, Sept. 16, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck and Congressmember Rodney Frelinghuysen and State and local officials will announce the removal of rusting and leaking drums and containers found on-site at the Radiation Technology, Inc. Superfund site located in Rockaway Township. They will also travel throughout Morris, Essex and Sussex Counties to review and assess progress on Superfund cleanups at four other hazardous waste sites. The other sites on the tour are the Mansfield Trail Dump (Byram Township), the Rockaway Borough Wellfield (Rockaway Borough), the Rockaway Township Wells (Rockaway Township) and the Caldwell Trucking Co. (Fairfield Township).

Superfund is the federal cleanup program established by Congress in 1980 to investigate and clean up the country’s most hazardous waste sites. The program was enacted in the wake of the discovery of toxic waste dumps such as Love Canal in the 1970s. It allows the EPA to clean up such sites and to compel parties responsible for the pollution to perform cleanups or reimburse the government for EPA-lead cleanups.

What: Announcement of cleanup, tour of Superfund sites with EPA Regional Administrator, member of Congress, state and local officials and subject matter experts, photo opportunities and interviews.

Who: Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator, Rodney Frelinghuysen, U.S. Congressman

When: 10:00 a.m. Monday, Sept. 16, 2013
Where: Radiation Technology, Inc. Superfund Site, Rockaway Township, NJ.

Attendees gather across the road from “Sterigenics”: 108 Lake Denmark Road, Rockaway Township, NJ 07866

The 'evolution' of tank cleaning

3/15/2013

From GamaJet’s website:

Rotary Impingement Tank Cleaning

“Gamajet’s rotary impingement tank cleaning machines combine pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point in which the concentrated stream impacts the surface. It is this impact and the tangential force that radiates from that point which blasts contaminants from the surface, scouring the tank interior. In conjunction with this impact, the Gamajet is engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable and reliable, 360-degree pattern. This full-coverage, global indexing pattern ensures the entire tank interior is cleaned, every time. This combination of impact in a controlled indexing pattern results in an economic ideal, because impact is a one time investment; chemicals, temperature and time are continual, never-ending expenditures. With a short ROI, Gamajets impingement cleaning is GUARANTEED to positively impact the ultimate scorecard, your bottom line.

According to this article on NJ.com, “about 1,300 people seeking grants or loans will not get help for at least a year, creating a backlog of an estimated $33 million worth of spill cleanups, said Frank Pinto, chief financial officer for the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Site Remediation Program. The money woes also will prevent the agency from processing new requests until at least 2014, Pinto said..

Once celebrated as the solution to getting rid of rusted and aging tanks, the fund ran out of cash because of maneuvers to divert dollars to other priorities and expand the number of people and institutions eligible for the program”
